Brenda at Cozy Little House did a terrific blog entry showing how she decorated with candy canes. This is how I copied uhhhhhh this is my homage to Brenda. http://www.cozylittlehouse.com/2011/11/thrifty-mantel-holiday-decor-tip.html
For those of us who have a lot of white in our decor, Brenda was correct that the humble candy cane can punch up our Christmas decor for next to nothing. I am so thankful for all the bloggy girls out there who are committed to blessing their homes in a frugal way. I learn so much from each one.
